2023-02-24	Ju*****	Use it all the time. Occasionally it won't open, but I just restart my phone and uts good. Butsince an update on my phone, its not working. It actually closes whatever app im on trying to split. Ive cleared the data, turned it in and off. Tried to open multiple ways. And it closes the app im on, amd just goes to my home screen as if I am went to my home screen.

2022-11-26	Sh*****	Overall, it's very helpful for those devices that intentionally hide split screen option from the UI. The only problem I faced was that the shortcut automatically disappears, although sometimes it also appears later automatically, from the accessibility sidebar on xiaomi devices. Autostart and all is enabled but the problem can't be fixed.

2022-11-24	Ni*****	It works like a charm! And I really missed the feature of having split screen when long holding the menu button. Doesn't work for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but my workaround is to use the back button instead for split screen. Works like it used to be. 5 stars if this could be replicated with the menu button again EDIT: Android 13 came around and this doesn't work anymore. Too bad this app doesn't update anymore...

2022-08-28	Je*****	Happy to have split screen functionality back. Works as advertised. If it's not working with the default 'overview button' try switching it to another one such as the 'home button'. That worked for me, otherwise the split screen would close after 2 seconds. Only thing I would like is the ability to adjust the size of the split screen as it currently splits it 50/50. Being able to move the horizontal split bar up or down would be ideal. Thanks!

2022-06-21	Di*****	I've updated miui to 12.5.2 & d built in split screen gone. This app helped me out. 🙂 But it stops working if I don't use it for hours. In case of this situation I've to turn it off & on again from accessibility settings. The photos of any app set at bottom part get fade. I would give it 5 stars if it worked smoothly. Best of luck.

2022-03-22	Sr*****	It works the first time I download it. I stop using it for an hour and it just stops working at all. I have to redownload it for it to work again. When it works, it's actually pretty good. It doesn't freeze nor anything, and it let's me do split screen in apps that usually didn't allow those kinds of things! :D But still, the problem of it not working after an hour of not being active is always there, if that problem wasn't there this app would be perfect! ^^

2022-03-18	Jo*****	I was worried by a review that said this app has to be given permission to passwords, but I didn't read it did when I accepted its request to access my phone. It works like the split screen function of my LGQ7 plus, but a little better even. You can close the Split screens like closing any app, with the square button at the bottom of the phone, and the split screens will be saved so you can come back and reopen it when you want to.

2021-10-17	Jo*****	Turn on auto start for this app to work My device Redmi 10, doesn't have a split screen available on settings. I thought it was a big disadvantage, but I tried this app and it works. I think you need to manually activate it yourself, the split screen feature may be available in the android but not for the handset. Also, Redmi hasn't optimized the split on my device as there we're bugs in using this feature.

2021-08-22	So*****	I needed a replacement after my Poco X3 initially removed the ability for split screen entirely and later on brought it back, effectively broken and unusable. Fortunately this app is a perfect replacement. Does exactly what you want it to after setting everything up. And almost no ads either besides one small part on the bottom of the actual app itself which you barely ever need to open.

2020-11-01	As*****	Works brilliantly. Samsung doesn't offer this perhaps because they offer it themselves on their higher end phones? I had in on my Samsung Note 7, way back then. Likely that Samsung have deliberately disabled this functionality. If this is the case, your argument ought to be with Samsung With regards this app, it works exactly as described and allows me to do things like listen to stuff on YouTube whilst browsing Twitter.... Perfect! My thanks for taking the time to develop this.
